This bass is a 1977 or 1978 as indicated by the serial number S864998.

It is a three color sunburst.
The wood grain makes it appear to be ash.
Red tortoise pick guard is a replacement that I preferred for its stage appearance, but I have the original black guard in excellent condition and will include both pickguards in the sale.

This bass has all parts and all are 100% original. This was my main stage bass from 2005 - 2010. It had very little use before that. It does have a few nicks, dents and dings, but nothing major or exceptional. The photos represent the condition well. Overall I would rate the bass 8 / 10 in condition.

When not at shows, the bass lived in my smoke free, climate controlled studio.

Comes with original fender hard shell, black tolex case. Case is dinged, but in excellent condition for its age and I would rate it a 7.5 out of 10 in condition.

The price on this fine vintage bass is negotiable within reason. Please don't hesitate to make an offer if you have a different opinion of value. The price we settle on will include shipping insured to your door in the Continental US.

Not that my opinion is needed or wanted, but I have seen this bass in person and I can tell you all that it is all that Koog claims it to be. The frets are in good shape and the action was comfortable even to my small hands. When Koog says that there is no major wear he is not kidding. A few small dings but you would expect much more on a bass of this vintage.

Fred is great to do business with and he always lives up to his end of the deal.
